University of California, San Franicsco. The "airways" are the bronchial tubes that conduct air from the mouth to the alveoli of the lungs where oxygen is taken up into the blood stream and carbon dioxide is removed. Thus the term "airway disease" or "airway condition" refers to a disorder that narrows the airways and interferes with the smooth passage of air in and out of the lungs. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD Clinical Research Network. Severe Asthma Research Program.
